I’m a third-party administrator consulting on staffing, safety, and compliance. I have frequent and frank conversations with CEOs in the protein business, retail, warehouse operations, foodservice, and many other allied industries. It’s a challenging time staffing your company. I always ask CEOs what are their top five problems that keep them up at night. The No. 1 issue is frequently staffing.
Great people are the foundation of your company. Good employees have many common denominators: longevity, work ethic, honesty. They come to work every day, have a great attitude, and help you move your agenda forward. There are those people who come and go, and you want to avoid having too many of them because they're a waste of your time and resources.
